JOSEPH BAILEY, “Joe” Chicago, 1914 Joe arrived in Gary after a very fatiguing trip from Chicago in 1914. He is one of our society feathers, and we have heard quite a “classy” dancer. He is always to be seen in the company of our well known yell leader. “Don’t let your studies interfere with your pleasures.” B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Commercial Law Club; Chemistry Club; R. 0. T. C.; Classical Club; “Mice and Men”; Secretary Auditorium League; “Martha”: “Bohemian Girl.” DOROTHY VERPLANK Evanston, Ill., 1917 Dorothy is noted for her high grades and 95’s are as common on her card as 80’s are on those of “us poor mortals.” She is rather quiet, but we know she enjoys a good time and she has shared many of ours. Doro¬ thy is little, but 0 my!—She can do lots of work. “The secret of being lovely, Is being unselfish.” Hockey; Classical Club; Chorus, ’22; “Mice and Men.” GOLDA IIAFEY Golda too has been with us only two years, but we wonder how we ever got along w thout her. She is a very good student, but also has time for dances and good times. She left our Senior English class to put more time on music, but no hard feelings, Golda ' . We wish you luck. “It is a friendly heart That has plenty of friends.” Spanish Club; Auditorium League; “Mice and Men.” ELEANOR CASS Westville, Ind. Eleanor has been with us only two years, but in that short time she has made many friends. She is one of our “bobbed haired” ladies and is noted for her pretty clothes. She comes in on the car every morning with I the “Ambridge Gang.” “Everything is pretty that is young.” Spanish Club. RAYMOND DUFF, “Duffy” Chicago, 1918 We predict that Raymond will be a great politician some day. He has already proved to be a political boss, in school politics, as he success¬ fully placed his candidate in the Senior class president’s chair during the fall election. He was also a successful leader of the Building and Grounds Committee in 1921. “I may be little, but I will have my say.” Chemistry Club; B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Chairman Building and!

ARVID GUSTAFSON, “Gusty” Griffith, Ind. We admire Arvid because he prefers to drive in from Griffith every morning, than to go to Hammond. Arvid has been with us four years, but he has said so little, that we hardly know that he is with us. “Silence betrays no man.” Auditorium League; Band. JENIBEE COATS Marion, Ind., 1920 Jenny likes us so well that she carried five solids to graduate with us. She is a very tiny girl, but she is full of “pep” and initiative. She loves to dance and is always near when a good time is promised. She will im¬ press you as being quiet until you find out her real nature. We’re glad to have you with us, Jenny. She is also a welcome addition to the Orches¬ tra. “A dear little, sweet little, good little girl.” Orchestra, Spanish Club, French Club. JOHN WALLACE, “Boob” Coal City, Ill., 1910 John is one of our best football players. In fact he is good at all kinds of play, haying had a berth on the basketball team and the leading part in the Senior play. He doesn’t like society, but we notice, he likes a certain society editor. “Wise men are all dead or dying; in fact, I don’t feel well myself.” B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Auditorium League; Classical Club; Football ’20, ’21, ’22; Basketball; Class Basketball, ’20, ’21; Varsity Basketball, ’22; “Mice and Men.” IRENE FORSYTHE Ross, Ind. Irene comes from Crown Point every day. One can easily see how much she thinks of the class of ’22. She has spent two short years with us and although she is quiet, she has made many friends. We wish her happiness. “It is tranquil people Who accomplish much.” Chemistry Club; Spanish Club; Classical Club. SAM DUBIN, “Smiley” Chicago, 1917 Sam preferred to remain behind and stick it out with us when his folks moved away. We appreciate his choice because Sam is a live wire and has succeeded in extracting some dues from the Senior boys. Sam always has a smile for everybody. “But a merrier man I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” Classical Club; B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.: Musical Club; Boys’ Treasurer ’22; Tennis, ’21; Cross Country, ’21; “Mice and Men.”

CHARLES WISE, “Charlie” Belmont, Ohio, 1910 Charlie believes in doing today what might be put off till tomorrow. He likes to discuss his lessons with the girls, but it must be a good idea because he always seems to have his lessons well prepared. He doesn’t like to spoil perfectly good targets. “Faithfulness and sincerity, first of all.” Spanish Club; Commercial Law Club; Auditorium League; R. 0. T. C. ELSIE HU BERTH This little girl has just joined our ranks this year, but already she has made her place among us. She is very good in declamatory work and has helped the S. E. C. to almost beat the B. S. E. C. She does not care much for the social side of school life but she makes up for it in her work. “She is wise who knows her own mind.” Hockey; Basketball. ’22; Orchestra: Captain Froebel-Emerson De¬ bate, ’22; “Mice and Men.” EZRA SENSIBAR, “Ezrie” Wheatfield, Ind., 1907 E?ra has i-»rnc 1 out better than we expected, considering that he came from a Wheatfield (Ind.). He has supported the class on the de¬ bating floor many times. Ezra signs his report card himself if it does not show 97’s or above. “Silence is more eloquent than words.” Chemistry Club; French Club; B. J. E. C.; B. S. E. C.; Musical Club; Auditcrium League. EDNA FULLER New York City, 1914 Edna is always in a hurry. She never wastes time and she doesn’t like others who do. She is just a little girl and tried for a long time to fool us. We used to think she was bashful, but this year we found our mis¬ take. She is a good student. “Faint heart never won bashful boy.” French Club; Auditorium League; Spanish Club; Hockey Team, ’20; Basketball, ’20; “Mice and Men.” ARNOLD OLSON. “Pete” Miller, Ind. Pete travels the vyeary road between Gary and Miller every day, but he finds time to slide a wicked trombone and make the piano talk, so we overlook the fact that he hails from the tenth ward. Pete likes outside girls. “I assume the cares of the universe.” Band; Orchestra; “Rose of Plymouth Town”; “Martha”; R. O. T. C.; Chorus, ’21; Cross Country; “Mice and Men”; Classical Club.
